The porosity of model particle gel networks with a range of textures is investigated using some established methods. The pore-size distribution function clearly distinguishes between simulated gels of differing texture. The chord length distribution appears less useful although it does become clearly bi-modal for coarse configurations corresponding to the appearance of distinct high and low density regions. We present a box-counting analysis to describe the fractal scaling properties of the voids.
